Im on Omex so will only take a second to raise the limiter, when we originally mapped the engine we did take it to 8000rpm but the power/cams died after 7500 so we set the limiter there. The head has one piece valves and cat cam springs so should be safe enough at 7800 for limited time.
That they would Sunny I want to try and get down to some English tracks this year but all depends on being away with work. Hopefully get my roof scoop fitted soon , as even on a cold day it heats up inside the car.
I also need at raising the rev limit up from 7500 to 7800 as I was just clipping...
Was at knockhill today and again the little clio was faultless all day
The track was slippy early in the day but towards the end there was decent grip round most of the track, but still easy to lock up going into the hairpin.
Think my best time was a 62's with a passenger , which I'm fairly...
Had the car in the dyno jet rollers at Sitech today and had the map adjusted. Looks like the engine has freed off a little since it was built/mapped, as it needed a little more fuel through out the map. But power seems to be very similar to the old 228 fly power that it made on the Dastek...
Thanks just hope it goes well on track at the weekend as will be first time its been used in anger in over 6 months.
Full spec is now ( have rear AST's but not fitted yet, and need new fronts)

I just took a grinder to the back of them, undid the 3 little torx screws then the inside pulls out. Also I painted the inside of the lights to save them getting stone chipped.
Im hoping to get booked onto a open pit day this weekend , so looking forward to see how the diff and steering have changed the car.
Going to try and get the car along to Sitech Racing during the week to put it on the rollers to check the fuelling is still fine , and may try and get a bit more...
Thanks I like the look they give and only takes 2 min to re fit the lights if needed.
I also got the eps sorted finally tonight looks like it has been a faulty motor from the start :( It finally died fully last week, fitted a new one tonight ( thanks STU) and now have fully working and...
I have fg tailgate and a few other parts on order but even then 900kg is about my target, seen one on here listed as 840kg but don't know where to loose another 80kg.
I will stick a new motor on it over the weekend , it would explain the jutting i had before if the motor was on its way out and has now died. Could also be the reason the ecu is shutting down.
This is really starting to annoy me now :cry:
Today I tried another eps ecu and did some more testing , all power and earths seem good . What i have found is that the ecu runs then seems to shut down after moving the wheel a few times. From reading it sounds like they do this if they over heat...
Got these fitted today , and first impressions are very good even from cold they seem very sharp.
Then made up some headlight blanks, not sure if I like them in black or what colour to do them.
Thanks Wayne its not perfect under the bonnet but better than blue, it will get a proper paint job if the engine ever has to come out .
Just need to sort the steering out now as it seems to have stopped assisting altogether now lol
Finished under the bonnet today :)
I have received a set of CL RC8 pads so just waiting on new discs now and will get the system fully bled through.
Not looking forward to keeping the Chronos white while using high carbon content pads, so may end up selling these and keeping my Prorace 2's...
